So when is a Pomanda not a Pomanda

well, when it's a balloon of course

I've always wanted to be able to fly, and a ride in a hot air balloon is something that I dream of doing one day.

Have been wanting to make one for a long time, so when I saw Tina's pomanda I thought there's a template I need. Instead of having the frills on the outside I folded them in to make the shape of my balloon, and of course removed the pattern on th e panels other wise I don't think it would have got off the ground

This is a work in progress and terrible

pictures because I still only have a very naff camera, but I have several ideas on how I can improve it which I will work on over time

And at least I can say that I have finally made something this month. All work and no play was really making me very dull.
